My Books

My Software

VS 2015 Community is recommended for most individuals, other than companies. It's free and has all of the features of Pro, intended for individual users, and still allows you to make commercial (and non-commercial) software with it.

Massive rewrite of several chapters that were (in my opinion) weak in the 1st Edition:

Delegates

Events

Threading

Asynchronous programming and async and await keywords.

Random assortment of smaller changes for clarity throughout the rest of the book.

Change in fonts and style (that probably only a sharp eye will really notice).

Overall, 18 pages added to the book (5.5% longer) though the font changes make that less than it really ought to be. The book is slightly denser than it was, so there was realistically more content than that added to the book.
